Roasted with fresh herbs, honey and a splash of balsamic vinegar, these roasted golden beets are a rich, flavorful side dish that will add a bit of brightness to any meal. If you've never tried golden beets before, now is the time to do it. They're a delicious and unique root veggie, with a flavor that differs just so slightly from their more ubiquitous red counterparts.
- 6 medium beets (peeled and sliced into wedges)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (2 cloves)
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat oven to 425˚F.
In a mixing bowl, drizzle the beets with olive oil, honey, vinegar and balsamic, and add the remaining ingredients. Toss or stir to evenly coat the beets.
Transfer the beets to a baking sheet and roast them for about 30 - 35 minutes. Beets should be tender with golden edges.
Remove the beets from the oven and serve immediately.
